PLZ NO!

Until this ep, nothing had happened =P The Beast Titan and his stolen ODM gear haven't really been much of a factor in the plot. All the Titan reveals were spoiled pretty much the instant the first season finished airing 4 years ago. I have no idea why the whole Crista/ Historia plot line is important or if that's going anywhere. They've spent about 25 percent of the season on it so far so I hope so. Instead of pumping the Titans for information about the last 107 years Eren will now proceed to beat them to death? I guess? And Eren's basement, the place that supposedly has all the answers... hasn't even been a factor.

It's just 3 seasons and a bunch of OVA's Season 3 is called Goddesses. If you like comedy anime give it a shot.

If Death note didn't do well, Stein's Gate wouldn't either. The world god only knows is hilarious, it just has the dumbest premise ever =P

"The second season was scripted by Chiaki Konaka with input from the American producers.[7][10] Along with the 13 episodes of season two, Cartoon Network had an option for 26 additional episodes to be written by Konaka,[11] but according to Jason DeMarco, executive producer for season two, the middling ratings and DVD sales in the United States and Japan made any further episodes impossible to be produced.[12]" I also read something about how after the Big Venus reset Dorothy was going to be human, so her and Roger could be together.

Ratings don't matter to me, except for the part where if they get bad enough Toonami gets canceled and no more anime on TV =P If we could get away with it without getting canceled I'd air all sorts of stuff that would get terrible ratings, like Stein's Gate, Ping Pong the Animation or the World God Only Knows.

Lets be real, they won't drop Super. We're in for 300 episodes of crap!

Oh hey guess what's getting dubbed http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2017/06/06/sentai-filmworks-cools-down-gate-dub-announcements-with-a-pia-co-lada

KFC is just the Buu saga from DBZ 20 years ago with tons of filler cut out, and better voice acting. But worse music.

I like Kai, but think it would be worth it to lose Kai if we got rid of Super. Right now the starting lineup is... Jack.......Rerun Super....Crap Kai.........Rerun... yes Kai is basically a 20 year old rerun. And AOT which is my favorite show on the block... but S2 just isn't anywhere near as good as S1. So long story short... fresh blood is needed stat.

What makes zero sense is having Super air before Kai. Kai is obviously a better show and gets better ratings.

Amazingly there's no dub for Konosuba, RE Zero, or Kabaneri yet. Maybe they can dub premiere one of them one day? Funimation is apparently the only company that can get dubs out quickly. MHA.. dubbed. Tanya the Evil? Dubbed. Worldend? Dubbed. Akashic? Dubbed.

You mean the highly requested TG isn't the ratings champ they thought it would be? Who could have foreseen this! If I was running an anime block and wanted it to be canceled, I'd have Super as one of the leads. It's just not good in any way. Even Toriyama complained to TOEI about the quality of Super.

I'm gonna take a guess here and say the Jack rerun only did 1 mil.

Yeah but still, marathon on holiday vs original programming on non holiday and the marathon wins? That's unusual.

You jinxed it. Silica will get aids now.

Lol did the Jack marathon actually do better numbers than the lineup from last Sat?

He drinks a lot of milk.

The best explanation I've seen is .... It'd been hinted at the whole time in Gordon Rosewater's cryptic lines, and loads of terms and names in the series are references to Computer Science and theatre (Paradigm, Big O, the show must go on etc) As I remember it, the idea was that Paradigm WAS a computer simulation similar to the matrix, a "stage" as it were. The 'cataclysm 40 years ago' happened, but not 40 years ago, devastating much of the world. Nobody has any real memories of what happened because it was an indefinite amount of time ago, and ever since, new iterations of paradigm have been made (the machinery underneath paradigm and metaphorically the stage lights above it) again and again (hence the flashbacks roger has about beck in Roger's house as a bank). The metaphor for this is Gordon Rosewater's tomato crop, which he says is synthetically reproduced with "only the sweet memory of the original". The idea is that by breeding the best tomatoes again and again they will eventually get sweeter and more natural until eventually they're indistinguishable from the real thing. The memory fragments that characters have are literally what remains the original people from before the cataclysm, implanted into them. When things aren't right, the system tends toward destruction, normally involving the megadeuses, which is why there are persistent memories of a robot war wherein these giant sentient robots destroy humanity- this never actually happened, but the system is designed in a way that the robots are the only constants and act as check devices central to every iteration, wherein if things go wrong with the "tomato crop" (the simulation and the people inside it), eventually the system will tend toward their use, overuse, and eventual destruction, causing Big Venus, the 'Director' program, to reset the simulation- this explains the strange scenes in the theatre sets hidden underground: Angel is actually closer to a program than a human, which is why we see that all of her memories of her childhood have been falsified. In the finale, when Alex Rosewater and Roger are fighting they practically destroy paradigm and with two of the megadeuses out of commission, the situation becomes untennable and the simulation gets reset by Big Venus: In the penultimate scene, we see a weird metaphorical scene of Angel, the "show director" in a control room, resetting the simulation before she's paused by Roger and Dorothy. The explanation for this is that, in the journey of the series, he has performed his role in the show perfectly and by the end of it has come as close to the original Roger Smith as is possible or necessary, and Angel knows this now, meaning that Roger will go unchanged. Big Venus then resets the simulation, wiping Angel and Roger's memories of the events and allowing them, indistinguishable replicates of the original people (Gordon Rosewater's natural "tomatoes"), to continue performing their roles unaltered as the simulation runs again and again, waiting for the rest of the crop (the population of paradigm city, such as Alex Rosewater, who was a perfect expression of a glitch in this system that needs to be 'negotiated with', because his reluctance to be "another one of Gordon Rosewater's tomatoes" was what drove him to obtain Big Fau and wage war for domination of Paradigm City) to catch up with them, until the megadeuses are no longer necessary, everyone is as they once were prior to the cataclysm, and paradigm city can continue human civilization as it would have. This is why the final scene is exactly the same as the first scene of the first episode, wherein we are told that Roger (now identical to the original Roger) performs the much needed job of negotiator (between the unknown past of the people of paradigm city and the future of the simulation) in Paradigm city, and will continue to do so (the show must go on) until the people of the city no longer have need of his services, and the past and the present have "come to terms".

Yup it sure does. How is he going to carve anything with giant meat cleavers when he's being gripped in her hand? Unless he did it while he was exploding out of her hand. But to be fair, she does hold him for a weirdly long time, and does stare at her hand afterword.

I think you focused on the amorality thing instead of .. "During the Hunter's Exam the deaths of dozens of people doesn't bother the protagonists in the least" "I feel like the value of life doesn't mean shit as a whole in their world. Nearly 9/10 of the applicants died during the hunters exam alone and the general reaction was 'ehh...'. Nobody baits an eyelash during Yorknew shootout. " "The original exam treated death like nothing. We had almost no emotional connection to the characters who died. I didn't care about Bourbon, who died a pointless and accidental death, but I did care about Ponzu." I mean, those are fans of HxH. They noticed. I don't see how you think it handles death in a normal fashion in the first few arcs.

Actually they run away at first. Leorio comes back either because he doesn't want to run away from a fight, or because as someone who wants to become a doctor, he actually cares about people dying. I honestly don't know which. In the subbed version the exact quote is "This may not be my fight, but I won't close my eyes and make a break for it" He unfortunately doesn't seem to show this trait again. And Gon just comes to help Leerio, not because he cared about the random guys dying. Yeah they make shocked faces at seeing a guys heart ripped out of his chest. After that... its water under the bridge. Happens every day. Whats for lunch? Gon doesn't even slightly reconsider what kind of person Killua is. Not even after flat out murdering a guy from behind during the tourney. Killua's feelings were hurt! We already established the main characters care about each other. There's a reason fans created a reddit thread to discuss the lack of weight behind all the deaths in HxH. If you don't want to see it you don't want to see it. –]Ryuzaaki123 6 points 12 months ago In Togashi's work I think it's interesting note the recurring theme of amorality. During the Hunter's Exam the deaths of dozens of people doesn't bother the protagonists in the least. Kurapika refuses to kill the fake-spider but Leorio, who one day wants to become a Doctor upholding the sanctity of life, tells him to go back out and kill him. Killua kills two people, including one innocent man, and while they are unnerved the first time they don't hesitate to rescue Killua after he kills the innocent man for no reason.

Does a good upbringing prevent a child from becoming a sociopath? Not 100 percent, but it definitely helps. It's a mix of genetic and environmental factors. Plus we already established that he cares about people and has strong feelings towards his friends. So he's not one. Again, it's not just Gon in those first 30 episodes not caring. It's everyone. I would again refer you to (yes it has spoilers) And what other shonen series on Toonami massacres people with no reaction? TG and Titan over emote even for cannon fodder characters.
